Dual course winner over 6f/7f, the most recent coming in March off the same mark as today; below his best in three starts since but can't be dismissed back on the AW.

Got back on the scoresheet with a 20-1 win at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; didn't get any luck at York next time but he was well held on his return visit at the end of May; has bit to prove again after a break but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win.

Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages.

Just a respectable fourth of seven over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but that run came after a short break and he's now well handicapped if judged on some of this spring's form; worth a second look.

Record of 888 in handicaps (1m-1m2f) reflects his lack of progress since the novice performances that included a debut success in sole 7f attempt; however, this drop back in trip may prompt a resurgence.
